The Metropolitan Police Department boasted close to a 1% decrease in crime between 2016 and 2017 — but the data omits the October shooting at a music festival that left 58 dead and scores more injured.

Excluding the victims of the massacre of the Route 91 Harvest Music Festival, the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department last year investigated 141 murders with an 83% clearance rate, according to the department’s report, titled “LVMPD Shows Decrease in Violent Crime in 2017.”

The figure marks a 10.2% decrease in homicides and a 0.9% decrease in violent crimes — including rape, murder robbery and aggravated assault — from 2016.

Department spokesman Larry Hadfield said the deadly incident on Oct. 1 was excluded from the statistics due to federal reporting guidelines.

This is what happened with the Virginia Tech Mass Shooting Staged Event. The FBI doesn't count the Virginia Tech Shooting in their data for Murders in 2007. Where are the 33 people that allegedly died?
